Trixie Town 19th March
The lower football leagues are back in action after the FA Cup and the top teams will want to start from where they left off. Here are the football tips for the football league.
My first choice is Charlton (13/10) who top the 1st Division to beat Brentford away from home. Charlton have a great away record (7w-1d-1l) where as Brentford's home form is a tad shabby (3w-2d-4l). I expect Charlton too have too much for Brentford and Wright Philips is certainly the man to stop having notched up 13 goals in all so far this season.
Southend (10/11) are my 2nd choice and are another team who are topping their respective table. They have managed 18 points from a possible 24 on their travels in the 2nd division where as Dagenham and Redbridge have only won 2 of their 9 home games. The daggers have lost 5 from 6 and look a good bet for the drop.
I'm dropping to the Blue Square Conference for my final pick. Gateshead (4/5) should keep Alfreton in the relegation zone by beating them on Saturday. Gateshead have already won 6 from 9 away games whereas as Alfreton have lost 5, drawn 3 and only won 1 at home.
I'm also throwing in a real tricky Trixie this weekend.
Try Palace (9/2) to beat Leicester, Blackpool (3/1)to beat Middlesbrough and Bolton (3/1)to beat West Brom all away from home.
